There are way better baton passers out there other than Jirachi and there are much more efficient sets that Jirachi can run outside of baton passing and being completely passive in doing so. What do you intend to achieve with 80 Sp.Atk investment when you don't plan on using it to kill anything, and why the 176 Speed? Mimikyu is far from underrated, I don't know if it's overrated but Mimikyu acts a blanket check to a bunch of things due to its disguise and can revenge kill with Shadow Sneak or force out switches and be able to set-up Swords Dance. Your logic in "having the right moves and EV trained" applies to basically every Pokemon in that you actually need good IVs, moves and proper EV investment. When you talk about your review, while you can expand upon the 'Hax factor'(Critical Hits, chances of freezing with Ice Beam, etc), in this case it is redundant as Mimikyu should never rely on critical hits 'to easily sweep'. 12.5% chance of critical hit is really not that worthy of mentioning. Also, Mimikyu does need quite the support as outside of a Swords Dance boost and lack of Sticky Webs support, it lacks the damage or speed to sweep. i want to mention mimikyu is weak to multiple attacking hits like rock blast or water shuriken

and mimikyu is very very overrated used in  battle very often
